Updates: 18 March, 2013: Published a Star Wars vignette. Vader and Palpatine, as usual. Das Schoene ist nichts als des Schrecklichen Anfang, den wir noch gerade ertragen, und wir bewundern es so, weil es gelassen verschmaeht, uns zu zerstoeren. Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich. (Beauty is nothing but the onset of terror we're still just able to bear, and we admire it because it calmly disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrifying.) --Duino Elegies, Die Erste Elegie.
